I need a non-multimedia laptop in good operation. 

Base:
-----
CPU: 	Either a high-end 486 laptop or a 
	low-end Pentium (120Mhz or less).
RAM:	16MB is nice, 32MB would be great!!
HD: 	> 850MB. Prefer 1GB.
Screen:	Dual Scan, etc is fine. Need 256 colors in 800x600 res.
	I'm not using this for Multimedia. So Active Matrix is
	NOT required.
PCMCIA:	2 Type-II PCMCIA slots. I need to use a ethernet and modem
	simultaneously.
Pointng:	Glide. Will consider trackball or the track-point if 
	price is right.
Misc:	Battery (long life is not a concern), case (if you already
	have one.
	I don't need SW. My company has adequate license for
	ALL the SW I need. So don't try to sell me SW.

Options:
-------
Modem: 	PCMCIA 33.6 data/fax. I can buy this NEW for $110
Ethernet:PCMCIA Ethernet 10bt card. I can get this new for $65.

I don't want a CD-ROM or Sound card. I can use the network
to install new SW off my workstation's CD-ROM. Basically, I'm looking
for a NON-multimedia laptop w/ communication ability. If you don't
have the modem or ethernet card, that's fine. But the base system
is required.

I plan to install either Win95 or Linux and use the machine for 
Remote Access only. Hence, I'm not looking for brute horsepower, 
just fast communication and enough HD to install my apps.

If you can help me out, know someone who is selling something
similar, know somewhere else I can get this, I would appreciate
if you could contact/forward the info.

I can be contacted at 
	rguha@nortel.ca
	(919) 544-5001 ~Home
	(919) 991-2037 ~Work

I'm located in RTP, NC. I will have to test the system out first before
buying it.

For CA reader, I have someone in the Silicon Valley area that can 
check and buy the system for me.

cheers.
